Thanks to Max from Darog's Company, who has been breaking a lot of stuff lately. And he is in RUSSIA!!!!

This is all from someone with the Horus Heresy book from Forge World.Legiones Astartes- units with this rule may ALWAYS attempt to regroup- (legion specific rules go here too basically)

Battlesmith- can attempts repairs on vehicles on 5+ with usual restrictions (can be enhanced with servo-arms)

Master of the Legion- only one per 1000 point- can take a command squad as part of the same selection on the FOC- if a unit is the warlord, they gain master of the legion- can roll twice on one warlord trait chart (rerolling doubles) and select which one to use- have the option of using one of the Rites of War (recommended for experienced players though)

Rites of War- alter some options and limiting others- only affect Primary Detachment- Allies can have rites of war too but do so independently of primary detachment (same/different/none)-
eg, orbital assault: units that can take rhinos can instead take drop
pods as dedicated transports, Dreadnoughts can take dedicated drop pods,
Contemptors can take dreadclaw drop pods, terminator armoured units may
deepstrike, may not take ANY units that can't gain access to drop pods
or deep strike rule, no fortifications

There is a Legion Specific Warlord Trait table but you can of course use the main rulebook ones.1. Warlord and all Legiones Astartes cause Fear2.
After both forces are deployed but before turn order is decided, may
redeploy one unit. Included option to put a unit into reserve or take
one out3. D3 units in primary force may have shred rules added to any blast or template weapons they use4.
Warlord is fearless, plus warlord and any unit of Legiones Astartes
within 6" add +1 to wound score when calculating if they win combat in
an assault5. Warlord gains Adamantium Will and one nominated infantry unit gains Deep Strike6. Warlord and any Legiones Astartes they join may reroll failed rolls of 1 to wound, close combat only

One
of the HQ options, called a Legion Centurion, can be upgraded to a
specific role for additional points such as chaplain for 35 points to
gain Crozius Arcanum wargear and zealot special rule. There are plenty
of options here though, like Primus Medicae. Lots of wargear upgrade
options. Some roles will limit which wargear can be taken while others
give more options, like Forge Lord may also take any techmarine options
for the same cost.Above a Centurion is a Praetor. Again, lots of wargear options. Role changing unique to Centurion though.
